    well that and more then just valve lash any time i ever use them allways added them in the mix then work out the 1/2 to 1 full turn on set up and lash before the custom push rods . but it.s nice to see. pick A thickness box . hope there valves are set up better the .003+or.003-down from valve to valve and head deck could see were on a single shaft set up this could save time .i just done it the old way still will .delwest make some nice stuff.i have had many of there valves and super 7 retainers as well as trick titanium take out stuff is nice stuff . smallest size stem for a v8 race engine i played with is been 8mm that 7mm getting small right now Jerry i have a set of old dart 360 heads that have a set of delwest 2.400by6600 by 11/32 stems i cutting the face and keeper lock groove to 2.350 by 5.500 and the ex to cut from 1880to 1.850 so they do not shave on the over lap the 45s face angle just about step over the valve seat over lap i was going to50/ 55 face angle but i plane to drive this engine on the street go the angle may beat in the valve face faster and is it not a beryllium seat head. heads had new Ex seats put in them so getting to 1850 from 1880 was no big deal .old set of 360cc runnners i am going after. basing the Ex port off the ex side of the 355cnc head and may work the intake side to the 380 cnc pro 2 heads but do not want to move the intake port so much i will have to line the head bolt on them so we will see on that .i may flo them to see numbers heads are going on a 598 bbc Time-x 2 engine test mule see that we will see on the dyno for numbers just for fun
